Default Adding another coaxial TV outlet to the FF

Many of you with FF probably have a single coaxial TV outlet coming from the signal amplifier directly behind the TV. That is how mine was set up. I pulled the amplifier and discovered that it has the capability of attaching a second amplified coaxial line from it. Therefore I decided to run that second line back through the roof channel that the antenna cable came through, inside the overhead cabinets over the dinette, and exiting on the bottom of overhead cabinet near the bed side. Also decided to run 12 volt from the amplifier to the same are in order to plug in a 12 volt powered TV if I'm dry camping.

Sound like you have your cable routing/method all figured out and that's great.

The XT276 comes pre-wired with mounting brackets for a TV by the dining area, at the foot of the front bed. one in the garage. ...also an outside mount bracket and connection.

I checked them all once and they all function property but only ever use the one in the dining area.

I have finished my last mod for the year, maybe. Anyway I have a few pics of were I put the USB, 12 volt and coaxial tv jack. Also, while I was at it I installed a volt meter inside the cubered with a switch.

I installed a volt meter similar to yours at foot of the front bed ... can been seen when opening the door to enter the toy hauler. They work great and am certain you will like it.

Eagle-

I think that meter will definitely come in handy. I put a momentary switch on it so it won't run the battery down. For the same reason I put a off/on switch on the USB charging jack.
